Cuteness Overload { Crazy Daisy Baby Boutique }

So if you are looking for some awesome new threads for your little girl--RUN over to Crazy Daisy Baby's Boutique. You will not regret it!

I recently gained the opportunity to photograph some of her great pieces...and I must say I am hooked. Wonderful style and craftmanship, great use of color, and Jen is wonderful to work with!

I haven't nearly photographed everything...but here are just a couple of my faves to get you started. More to come!





and thanks to my talented little model Miss { N } !!!

Lovely 2010 Senior { Myrna }

I want Myrna and her sweet family to know, that hiking 2 miles (halfway I walked barefoot...due to a broken sandal), standing knee deep in a creek, and braving snakes and giant mosquitos were totally worth getting shots like these! It was such a fun adventure. Enjoy your sneak peek!

Sneak Peek for the `D` Family...

Little Miss { A } couldn't have been sweeter! At the time of our shoot it was about 999 degrees out. Also, with one year olds sometimes you can't be too sure that they are in the mood for photos. This, coupled with the 'stranger danger' that often comes with this age, I was ready to pull out my bag of tricks! However, this sweetie pie loved the camera, and the camera loved her back! Enjoy your sneak peek D family! More to come...









and one with mom ♥

Hey all you local people!

The lady that organizes the whole thing couldn't be sweeter, too. Enjoy!

Yee-ouch.

Yep, he turned five and promptly received his first shiner. After recovering from the initial pain and shock (it was a head-butting accident during a game at VBS...), he is actually kind of fond of it. A battle scar to be proud of, no doubt.

Shhhh!

This is what the hubbs is getting for Father's Day--I'm going to put them in a collage of some sort.

It HURTS me to get on the other side of the camera--but I did it for my family's sake. My kids deserve to have some photos of them with me for after I'm gone. (You never know. It could be tomorrow; I hope not, but still...) That and I think Jas is going to love them.

A big thank you to my friend Megan for taking these! xo

Birthday Bash { alien abduction style }

So, Noah wanted a UFO cake for his birthday this year. I am telling the truth when I tell you that he told me this on the way home from his birthday party last year. When his five year milestone was upon us, he still held his ground with the cake.





Z had to have a taste...





there was this:





and also this:











and silly string...oh yes.



and the aftermath did look very...alienesque.




So much fun!!

Today, my Noah is five!

~ Thank you, sweet boy, for being who you are. I am who I am because of it. I love you!! Happy Birthday! ~

If you follow the link below, you will see the slideshow that I will play at his birthday party today. You can bask in the cuteness, and also see how my photography has changed and vastly improved through the years! Enjoy.
